Thanks Tim. I am trying to pick up vbscript and sometimes I dont even know
what to call what I want to do to search for the answer first before bugging
the list. I think I found a way to do it using this:
Dim Shell
Dim UsrName
Set Shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
UsrName = Shell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%USERNAME%")
And then I can insert the UsrName variable where I need it. Seem correct?
